The typical road bike is an endurance bike. Endurance bikes encompass frame geometries with an aggressive fit to a relaxed fit. And bikes for people touring with camping equipment for several days or persons just wanting to go 150 miles as quick as they can.
Road bikes are not the only bikes made for use on the road. In fact, most anything that is not specifically a mountain bike is for use on the road. And many even use mountain bikes on the road because they are "cool".
Are you wanting a bike with less stack so you can sit upright more? That may not necessarily help you. You need to find out if there is anything significantly wrong with your fit on one bike vs the other bike. Or perhaps something about the bikes themselves, like one has better gearing for you.
